Bangladesh Rural Improvement Fund

(BRIF) is a not-for-profit non-governmental development organization (NGO) founded in 1984 in North-West Bangladesh. We endeavor to raise the socio-economic condition of some of Bangladesh's most disadvantaged and vulnerable communities by mobilizing local resources in an effective and pragmatic way. We involve people and communities in creating and delivering projects to develop their own health, education, rights and livelihoods for a more prosperous and sustainable future. Welcome to the website of ASA, one of the leading Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in the world.

ASA

ASA has been working relentlessly to reduce poverty since its inception in 1978. The formal banking sector in developing countries, like Bangladesh, does not typically provide financial services to the poor. This sector concentrates on large loans to the upper class, thereby completely excluding low income groups. The microfinance movement, however, has shown that there is a thriving market among the poor when financial products cater to their specific needs. The poor are a quite active group in any economy. ASA has shown that their needs can be met while at the same time making the providing institution profitable as well.

Up to October 2011 ASA's cumulative Loan disbursement has been BDT 481,381 million (US$ 6,326 million) while loan outstanding (principal) is BDT 44,972 million (US$ 591 million) among 4.43 million borrowers. At the end of June 2011 ASA's Operational Self Sufficiency (OSS) was 182.48%, Financial Self-sufficiency (FSS) 118.82% and rate of loan recovery 99.83%. ASA continues to perfect the role of financial intermediation by developing a variety of other products that are quite successful at generating necessary funds from local sources. This helps the poor to shield themselves against risks. ASA is now also working in different countries, with Catalyst Microfinance Investors (CMI) through its investment vehicle, ASA International (ASAI), to spread microfinance globally. This coverage is a must to meet the target of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Microcredit Summit Campaign (MSC). I hope this website will be helpful for you to know about ASA in-depth. I welcome all of you who are interested in ASA.

10. Transparency International Bangladesh TIB has since been working as a catalyst of social movement against corruption. It has elaborate research and advocacy programmed for policy change and institutional reform for creating conditions for reducing corruption and promoting good governance in Bangladesh. Since its establishment TIB has undertaken various activities research, information, dissemination, campaign and advocacy to bring about greater awareness amongst the general public of the nature, extent and implications of corruption in Bangladesh across all sectors public, private and non-governmental. One of the early conclusions that TIB has reached is that fighting corruption and promoting transparent, accountable and efficient governance requires active and concerted citizens‟ effort. TIB has, therefore, given priority to mobilizing and drawing support from constituencies of citizens by forming watchdog bodies committees of concerned citizens as a deterrent force against corruption, not only in key sectors of public service. TIB has devoted itself to the task of mobilizing a social movement to curb corruption and to promote good governance in the public, private and non-governmental sectors through greater accountability, transparency and public participation. The main objective of TIB is to catalyze a conducive environment for reduction of poverty and promotion of justice and human security.
